October 24, 2017: Akemi’s Coffee Cap Series!

Monet had Water Lilies, Picasso had his Blue Period, and my girlfriend Akemi has Coffee Cap series, a collection of photos of our dog Suji sporting varied coffee caps as hats.

The series to date…

The biggest challenge has been in sourcing coffee caps in assorted colors. The other day, we stopped for coffee not because Akemi wanted a coffee but because she spotted a positively standout lime green cap. Today, we flagged down a complete stranger and asked her where she picked up her coffee (with a distinct red cap) only to be informed she purchased it a good one hour walk from us. She kindly recommended a nearby shop with excellent coffee but, alas, their caps are black and we’ve already done black.

Adorable! I think this series would be a great collection. I am Warhaling the images in my mind as well. Silk-screening them on merchandise. Selling them for charitable benefit. Maybe Pug rescue, or maybe just getting care for older doggies. In the end you could sell them to raise money for a trip to Japan for Akemi…

The camera really does love Suji. And even more so with coffee cap hats! She’s such a cutie.

Aw, Suji does love the lens doesn’t she? She has so many varied expressions in her repertoire.

Going back to Suji’s separation anxiety, I remembered there’s Bach’s Rescue Remedy which sometimes works on canines (- check with vet re medications first tho!). It’s never worked for me but I did have a feral cat who was happy going to the vets on it. Plus it’s a human herbal remedy so may work on anxious parents, which may help too!

That really is too stinkin cute! Unless the rules dictate that Akemi get the lids from an actual coffee shop, maybe try Amazon for assorted colors. On the downside, you’ll be stuck with 1,000 lids you’ll never use, but everyone makes sacrifices for their art.
